Lost - Season II

I think that you are on the right track with that info. It could explain a lot.

 

very interesting. check out this link:

fwiw, "tabula rasa" is one of the episodes from season one.

notice the use of the word "dharma" in connection to kant's bhudist-like ideas.

 

so i'm reading a bit about kant and run across this:

Empiricists, such as Locke, Berkeley, and Hume, argued that human knowledge originates in our sensations. Locke, for instance, was a representative realist about the external world and placed great confidence in the ability of the senses to inform us of the properties that empirical objects really have in themselves. Locke had also argued that the mind is a blank slate, or a tabula rasa, that becomes populated with ideas by its interactions with the world. Experience teaches us everything, including concepts of relationship, identity, causation, and so on. Kant argues that the blank slate model of the mind is insufficient to explain the beliefs about objects that we have; some components of our beliefs must be brought by the mind to experience.

coincidence?

 

I see the series finale where the last scene is where the camera pans back and you see Hurley and then the rest of the cast all living in the mental hospital and chattering on to each other about the Hatch and the Button and the Others.....

A cameo by Jack Nicholson or Billy Bob Thorton caps it off.

 

Oh, boy. Did this really have to go down the philosophy trail?

 

Speaking of Randolph Mantooth, anyone recognize the dude on left?

 

yeah, my wife was actually the one to recognize him. i kept thinking he was the guy from adam 12.

 

uh, wrong thread?
